    A great lens that I use for all of my real estate photography. The description says that it doesn't distort but there is definitely some Distortion around the edges if you're close to an object.

    Since my camera won't be delivered for another 6mo (Jan 2023), I can only speak on how good the delivery was of my lens. Flawless.

    Overall, great price on a wide angle. I took stars off because the vingetting is insanely bad. Haven't tried for astrophotography, this was for fall nature photography but still very noticable and Lightroom doesn't recognize and auto-calibrate the lens yet.

    Cons. It’s ok for $300 but you definitely get what you pay for. Let’s put it this way. If you buy it cheap you buy it twice. It’s got almost fisheye lens distortion, even after corrections in Lightroom it’s soft and warped at the edges of the frame. Pros. It’s a lens.

    You spend quite a bit of money to upgrade to a Canon RF camera. This lens does not meet the standards of the camera. The 24mm setting on my 24-105mm lens will probably be better for every situation.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
